Bernell, a loyal vassal of Edward I the Long, was overjoyed to receive the report from the observers, believing that he had found a way to make the kingdom of England rich and powerful.

Those beautiful pictures may be more convincing than the report, and the strange weapon that the observer brought back is even more visual evidence!

While munching on spicy whale jerky, the loyal Benel easily wrote his plan on the white, smooth checked paper with a gold pen on tap...... He was written in Latin.

In fact, Latin was spoken among their nobility in Europe during this period.

Simply interject.

Latin belongs to the Latin-Falich branch of the Italian language family of the Indo-European language family, and was originally a dialect of the Latium region in central Italy, but later due to the expansion of the Roman Empire, which originated there, Latin was widely spread within the empire, and Latin was designated as the official language.

After the spread of Christianity in Europe, Latin became more influential, and Roman Catholicism in Europe has always used Latin as the common language, and most of the relevant theological academic papers were written in Latin.

At this time, Latin was the medium of communication between the different countries of Europe at that time, and it was also an essential language for the study of science, philosophy, and theology.

Latin is a composite language, and a complex system of inflections forms a major part of Latin grammar.

These variations are usually formed by adding a suffix to the ending, or by changing the consonants or vowels of the stem.

For nouns, adjectives, and pronouns, this conjugation is called "declension", and for verbs, it is called "conjugation".

Beginners have to memorize a fair amount of rules from the start, which often leads to frustration.

So, quite a few of the nobility did not learn Latin at all, but only used dialects.

Long-legged Edward I didn't know Latin...... He once said that the time and experience wasted on learning Latin might be enough to conquer the world.

So, after the loyal minister Burnell had finished writing in Latin, he had to have his assistants convert it into English to show it to the king.

The common English dialect of the English island group during this period...... Compared with the previous Old English, this dialect has produced great changes in pronunciation and spelling, vocabulary and grammar.

A large part of Old English vocabulary was eliminated in favor of many French and Latin vocabulary.

The grammar of the English language has been simplified in terms of morphological changes.

For example, nouns gradually lost the complex inflections of numbers and cases in Old English, and were simplified into singular and plural forms, and the plural was represented by the ending -s.

Adjectives are reduced to parts of speech without any variation.

The relationship of words in a sentence is no longer indicated by the change of sex, number, and case, but by the position of the word in the sentence.

Of course, this simplified language was conducive to popular popularization, and because of this, the English language of this period was looked down upon by some nobles as not elegant enough, and was far less noble than Latin to show its noble status.

In London's new business district, there are Orientals who take the initiative to learn Latin and English, and they are always dizzy to learn...... At the same time, there are also English people who learn oriental languages, and they must be sweating all over their bodies.

However, this kind of learning is not forced by others, it is all voluntary...... Many people have seen that those white guys who can speak Oriental can earn too many silver coins with just a few words when they help the two sides communicate...... So, being a translator is a lucrative profession, and the threshold is very low, and there is basically no capital.

The reason why the loyal minister Burnel wrote it in Latin was not for the sake of pretending, but because the report was to be placed in the royal archives...... Its importance can only be indicated if it is written in Latin, which was common among the European aristocracy.

Much later, this report was called the "Burnell Report" by historians, and it was considered to be a marker of the real entry of modern civilization in Europe.

In his report, Bernell made several important recommendations to the long-legged Edward I.

First, he proposed to increase trade with the East.

The reason is simple, from the world map, the Great Shang Federal Empire in the East is a country with a vast territory and a large population.

But they were too far away from the Kingdom of England, and there had been no free communication between the two sides before, so there was no friendship or hatred, only trade needs.

Liberty Island is a fair place to serve as a commercial diaspora for the time being, but in the long run it is a small place with a small population, and it is far less suitable than the London area.

Since Liberty Island preaches free trade...... Why don't we bypass them and send our fleet directly to the Federal Empire's Port of Marbury?

They can go directly to their main island!

I heard that there was also an empire called "Great Song" in the East, as well as smaller empires called "Goryeo" and "Japan...... The goods they produce are also very much needed in Europe......

Second, to strengthen military ties with the Great Shang Confederation Empire.

The reason is simpler, their civilian weapons dealers can produce that kind of terrible weapon......

So what will their army look like?

By this time, Edward I the long-legged had completely figured everything out...... The Scottish peasant rebels only bought the weapons of a small oriental merchant of the Union Empire to defeat the mighty army of the Kingdom of England!

This is really annoying, it is said that the strength of that Oriental traveling merchant is less than one-ten-thousandth of that of the New Oriental Group Company...... Moreover, the leader of the peasant rebellion, William Wallace, was nothing more than a slave as a slave soldier of the Great Shang Emperor's Federal Empire!

I don't understand why the Commonwealth of Great Merchants gave him freedom and let him return to Scotland alone...... And it was all this that was triggered by the "accidental" killing of his wife by a petty nobleman of England!

The little merchant who sold him Oriental weapons was nothing more than a friend of his military days...... He made him the Minister of Commerce and Exchequer of the Puppet Kingdom of Scotland, and is now running around the Commonwealth of Great Commerce to find assistance for the Puppet Kingdom of Scotland.

The little wandering merchant was called "LEO".

Therefore, if the Kingdom of England can preemptively establish military contact with the Great Shang Commonwealth Empire, it will surely provide us with better oriental weapons, so that we can completely quell the riots in Scotland and Ireland!

Third, it is necessary to strengthen the study of the production techniques of industry, agriculture and fishery in the Great Shang Federal Empire.

This suggestion is based solely on what the observer saw on Liberty Island.

Liberty Island has the ability to smelt steel!

They used the wrought iron or iron ore of our Kingdom of England to smelt steel with ease, which is already a staggering technology, as if they had received God's love...... However, they still thought that the quality of the steel was not as good as that of their own island...... Therefore, their smelting technology has reached an unimaginable level!

And the kind of iron guy that turns when you add coal...... They rely on it to pump water from rivers and wells, which can irrigate tens of thousands of acres of dry fields, and presumably it will be more useful, so we need to get such technology.

Needless to say, agricultural technology was urgently needed in the Kingdom of England...... When the farmland of the Kingdom of England had to be ploughed in rotation, why didn't they have to rotate after only sprinkling something inexplicable?!

There is also the fishing industry...... How did they easily kill the giant fish they called whales?!
